Abstract
The purpose of this reflection is to analyze the ethnic-racial relations generated in agricultural workplaces that tilt in racist practices caused by the indigenous population migrations from the area of Chiapas to the land of tequilain Altos de Jalisco located in Mexico, specifically the municipality of Arandas. Such relationships have been evolving since the end of the last century as a result of the increasing expansion of the tequila agro-industry. It is of particular interest to address issues that deal with labor and social relations in the environments migrants arrive, because these relationships are based on a negative appreciation of the difference. This attitude leads the native people of Jalisco to discriminate, segregate, marginalize and exploit, not only strangers or foreigners (even in the same country), but also who, by his indigenous status, is positioned in a lower stratum and whose phenotype is far from the idealized Altos del Jalisco native: the Caucasian type, Catholic, rancher.
